New Grilled Installed!

tnor · February 22, 2008

Just received my new carriage works billet grill in the mail this morning and got it all installed. The installation was really quick and easy and for being the bolt over model it fits really well! definitely really impressed with the quality and ease of install.

Now that this is installed anybody have any idea's for the next mod? I'm thinking some Putco bed rails (the ones with the LED in the end) but I'm not sure.

Nice Grill...now TUNE it next!!!

Thanks! I'm still debating what I want to do as far as a tune goes, since the truck is leased I'm not sure if I'm going to tune it or not. We'll see

I debated with getting the badge less grill, but I'm pretty happy with the look of this one.

Lookin good!

I think that clearing out the amber lenses would make the front end look cleaner. Some other guys around here have done it and it looks pretty sharp...

All the more reason to tune it IMO. Get a Wester's tune and you'll even be able to return it to stock and transfer a new tune to your next truck for no add'l charge.

what do you mean by "all the more reason to tune it"? Couldn't it possibly interfere with my warranty and potentially screw up my lease?

Only if they find out about it. That is why you return it to stock before bringing it in for engine/tranny related issues. Either keep a set of stock modules, or have them returned to stock.

I had my truck at the dealer this week for non-engine related service and I left my tuned modules in and they didn't say a word, they had no idea. Dealers cannot "see" a tune, but they can re-flash over it if they need to update the PCM software for some reason. But re-tunes are usually free with most tuners. Westers is one of the few where the "free re-tunes" transfers to new vehicles. That is why I suggested him over the others since you will likely be trading vehicles in a few years.
